Interesting Legal Decision.

The general rule is that when a me-

construction of a machine invents a
valuable improvement, the invention is
the property of the inventor, and not OF
the employer. 1t may be that when an
employer hires a man of supposed in
ventiye mind to invent for the employer
an improvement in given machine.

SCAB IN POTATOES.
How to Exterminate the Destructive Worm
Which Cause It

How to Exterminate the Destructive Worm
Which Cause It
The cause of scab in potatoes is still
a subject for dispute. and various theo-
ries are propounded, apparently with
intent to escape any admission of the
fact that it is u simple matter, and to
prove that it is the work of some germ
or microbe, which it is now fashionable
to believe is at the bottom of all the
mischief done in the world. Some years
ago the writer carefully investigated it.
and found, in his case at least, the wire
worm, not the elater larva, which is so
called, but myriopod. known as iulus.
did the mischief. This animal-it is not
an insect-gnaws the skin of the potato
with its teeth and wounds the tender
cuticle, which then throws out new
matter and forms a scab over the
wounds. The skin of the potato only is
wounded, the flesh is not eaten into,
and, as with animal tissue, the wound
ed skin is soon scabbed over, while the
deeper wounds remain open because the
skin is wholly destroyed. Thus the
wounds made by the white grub are deep
and wide, and the substance of the
potato being eaten away no scabs are
formed, because the scabs are really a
thickened growth of the skin, a callous,
as it may be termed, which grows from
the skin or bark of plant cuttings. 1t
is about five years since we described
how artificial scabs may be formed by
wounding the skin of half-grown pota-
toes with the point of a needle, and how
clean, perfect potatoes. were scabbed
when placed in a jar of earth with
number of the wire worms.
Now it is alleged that earth worms
do the mischief because scabby pota-
toes have been found in rich vegetable
sell where these worms abound. But
this is precisely the soil where
the wire worms abound and in
which scabby potatoes are most
abundant A complete immunity
from these pests and from scab
may be secured by growing potatoes in
soil which has not been manured or
pastured for some years. and is ma
nured only by artificial fertilizers. An
esteemed contemporary once ungener-
ously charged that this statement was
made with intent to boost up some
special kinds of fertilizer; but better
proof to the contrary can not be given
than to say that any mineral fertilizer
will have this result, by offering no in
ducements to the wire worms, but
rather repeling them by the strong
pungent odor and poisonous qualities.
We have entirely avoided the damage
in this way, and by dipping the sets in
a mixture of one part Paris green with
fifty parts of plaster. thoroughly well
blended. M Y. Times.

a Photographic Diary.

Some time ago there was an exhibi-
ton of amateur work here in New
York, and another one is talked about.
Perhaps the most interesting novelties
in amateur work of the last few years
are the numbers of amateur albums de-
voted to family history, constituting
almost a pictorial diary of the
family life. One noted amateur has
rough MANILA albums, each one de-
voted to one of his children. The first
page shows the baby day old, and not
a month passes without picture OF
that child or some of its surroundings
the nursery, the house, its books and
playthings. On some pages are family
groups, in which the child figures. Be.
meath each picture is written the date.
and the album will constitute a curious
record for the future.-M 7. Post.

THE DAY SHE DIED.

AL as she left It within her room;
Her footstool here where she used It last;
Her chair drawn near to tie plants in bloom
The time Of flowers viii soon be past.
Here is her work-box, and white as milk
Her velvet cushion lies by its side:
And needle threaded with rose-hued silk
Just as she left it the day she died.
On the sofa there is the dress she wore,
Dainty the sheer soft muslin thing
Il suited her tender face of yore
Because of,its tints like the buds Of spring.
a crumpled glove on her dressing case,
The print of fingers within it yet
And about It lingering still trace
OF violet vague and mignonette.
A ribbon dropped on the carpet near
By her own soft fingers its knot was tied;
No one has dared 10 enter here
Since the sudden, sorroTful day she died
There on the table her open book,
And the blot OF tear that seems scarcely
dried;
The story, perhaps, has sadder look,
Because she read it the day she died.
There her drawing but half complete:
And open yonder the song she tried;
u the Other Land will she sing IL as sweet
AS she sung it here on the day she diedt
And here, ah mei on her writing case,
Her open ink and her paper spread,
With few last words which her hand did trace;
Through the fall Of my tears they can scarce
be read.
q letter il is and commenced to me;
Commenced to me on the day she died;
HWhen love grows deathless I'll marry thee"
In Paradise will gain my bride:

A Health Resort Discovered Many Yenro

Florida has been health resort ever

Leon in 1912. In fact that celebrated
discoverer went there for health him.
self. He was afflicted with disorder
(almost always fataD called old age,
which is liable to attack man who has
been careless during his youth, some
where between the ages of fifty and
one hundred. There is no absolute
remedy for it even when treated in its
earliest stages. Most men neglect it
until it becomes firmly seated, and then
it is too late. 1t may be mitigated by
soothing treatment, but there is no
case recorded in medical works where
it has ever been thoroughly eradicated.
Ponce had led fast life, and when
he found age creeping on with its at
tendant infirmities he looked about for
means of recuperation. There had
been mystic legend floating around
Europe concerning fountain of youth
it was only necessary for an old man
to bathe to be made as good as new.
He would emerge as frisky as he ever
was in the world, his bald head COW
cred with luxurious wig and his
mouth pre-empted by double SET of
false teeth of rubber. made while you
wait. Ponce set sail at once and landed
in Florida April 5. 1912, only twenty
years after the discovery of America.
As soon as he arrived he was be-
sieged by the natives to buy an orange
grove. They said oranges could be
raised there with or without derrick.
yielding an enormous profit. Failing
in that he could keep winter boarders
from the North. But he turned deaf
ear to their propositions and struck out
boldly in search of the tabled fountain.
1t must have been a melancholy
thing to see that infatuated old man
wandering among savage everglades,
now stumbling over knolls and again
on Seminoles, in his fruitless quest. He
heard of a fountain one day. but after
weeks of painful travel he found it was
only disabled soda fountain left be-
hind by picnic party. Finally, de-
spairing of becoming young again by
the hydropatlric system he wisely set
tied down at Jacksonville and opened
hotel for invalids. where he accumu-
lated handsome incompetency before
he died.-TerGs SittingS
